The students moved to the auditorium, grumbling and mumbling. All the students of Umbravale high sat in the school auditorium waiting for the arrival of their principal. Principal Lillian, a witch was accompanied by her vice principal and other teachers. She mounted the podium and cleared her throat a little.
" Good morning students of Umbravale high, it's a great pleasure to see your lovely faces. I welcome you all and I hope you're ready for any challenge life has to offer. Classes commence from tomorrow."
She stopped, looked at the students faces and continued, " Just so you know, no form of rude attitude will be accepted."
As she said this she glared at Esmeralda ( Ezzy) who winked at her in return.
Principal Lillian frowned, she just couldn't understand where this kid got her guts from. She ended her morning talk and allowed the students to leave.
As Ezzy and Ria were going back to their lockers they met their other friends. Isoleta, a witch, had brown hair and big hazel eyes and Ramona, a fairy, had light green hair and black eyes. They were both slim and tall.
" Hi Ria, hi Ezzy" They said simultaneously.
" Hey Oleta, hey Mona" Ria and Ezzy replied.
" Oh my goodness, Ria. I thought you were gonna give up on your crown glasses" Oleta said.
" No way. I love them" Ria said taking out her mirror phone to admire herself.
" I will never be able to understand silly princesses"
" Hey" Apple who was also a princess said.
" Sorry Apple" Oleta apologized.
" It's okay, some princesses are silly" Apple said.
Everyone knew they were thinking about the same silly princess in their school. All except Ezzy bursted into laughter. Oleta noticed she wasn't laughing and asked
" What's wrong, Ezzy?"
" Oh dearie, I forgot about your weird morning" Ria said. " Come on guys"
They bid Apple goodbye and moved to an empty classroom.
" So what's wrong, Ezzy?" Mona asked.
Ezzy began telling them about everything that happened that morning omitting no detail. By the time she was done narrating, Mona was shaking in her boots.
" I don't believe in stuffs like this." Mona said trying to sound brave.
" Oh it's true." Ezzy said.
" Stop making things up, Esme"
Esmeralda was about replying, when Oleta screamed, " Look over there"
They saw a pale looking hand writing on the wall. " The temple must be rebuilt"
" The dragon lives"
They ran out of the classroom, bumping into Principal Lillian.
" What's wrong girls?" She asked.
" Nothing" They replied.
" Okay" Principal Lillian said walking away. She didn't even want to know, she wasn't ready for another Umbravale high mystery to solve.
They moved to another empty classroom, hugging each other tight. They didn't notice that Andre Bloodfang the newest Alpha of the Sapphire moon crest clan was in the room with them. His voice made them jump.
" What's wrong?" Andre asked.
" Oh it's nothing" Mona said, not sure if they could trust him.
" Today has been so weird for me" Andre said. " This morning I went to the school bathroom and I saw funny writings about a temple and a dragon."
" What! We're also seeing it" Oleta blurted out.
" Really?" Andre asked wide eyed.
" Yes" Ria said, finally being able to say something. Andre was the Alpha she was crushing on.
As they were talking, Andre's three friends rushed in. Drayce Van Draal, descendant of the great dragon keepers. He was the only descendant who had the powers of a dragon keeper. The unholy product of darkness. He was part demon, part vampire and part wolf. The object of admiration in the whole of Umbravale. By his side was Estevan Dreadmourne, the first son of demon lord Drevaron and the witch queen Velmora. And the last one was Kairos Rivhallow, a water demon lord, descendant of Poseidon. They were very handsome young men. Drayce had long black hair with a red streak, Estevan had red hair with black streaks and Kairos had midnight blue hair while Andre had light brown hair.
" Andre we've been seeing some weird writings on the wall" They all said at once.
" So have I" Andre replied. " That's what I was discussing with the ladies"
" Oh, hi ladies" Estevan said, noticing the girls for the first time.
The girls nodded their greetings, stunned to see the school's most handsome, popular and powerful guys in the same room with them. For the four years they have each stayed in Umbravale high, they had never seen these guys up close.
" Okay so let's sit down and talk about this"
After thirty minutes of talking they finally agreed to meet at the school's library the next day.
" Bye girls" Andre said.
" We didn't even introduce ourselves." Ria said.
" Oh"
" Anyway I'm Riarielle Elaris, these are my friends Isoleta Nightveil, Ramona Seravelle, Esmeralda Rhazmyra"
" Great names" Andre said. " Estevan, Drayce and Kairos. I'm Andre"
" We'll be on our way" Estevan said.
" Don't forget about the meeting" Mona said.
" We won't. And stay calm ladies"
" Thanks." Ezzy said, speaking for the first time since the guys got there.
" See ya." Andre said winking at Ria who blushed uncontrollably much to the disgust of Esme.
After they left, everyone except Ezzy screamed excitedly.
" Those guys are so hot" Mona said
" I can feel the powerful aura emanating from them" Oleta said collapsing on the chair.
Esme watched her friends drool over the guys. Silly infatuated nitwits, she thought.
" Ria already has Andre, I'll take Kairos, Oleta will take Estevan, so that leaves Esme with Drayce" Mona said dreamily.
Esme chuckled and said " Nope that leaves Esme alone and single"
" Did you guys see when Andre winked at me? I told you he likes me" Ria said.
" Hmmmmmnnnnn." Ezzy said rolling her pretty black and gold flecked eyes.
" Oh Esmeralda don't dampen her hopes" Mona said.
" Whatever"
" Nonchalant idiot" Ria said running out of the classroom.
" Oh I'll get you for that" Ezzy said running after her.
Shaking their heads, Mona and Oleta followed them behind.
